Calculate the magnitude of the force of a couple, when the arm of the couple is 63 cm and the moment of the couple is 21 Nm.
Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
- Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
